Broken Ankle

[Jonathan Cohn]

Bad news.  Sunday I was up in Maine mountain biking, took a spill and wrapped my leg around a rock.  I wont be able to work for a little while.  But dont worry, I'll be nice and healed in no time

[Alan Dague-Greene]

That sucks! I like how the doctor used molten lead toothpaste to spell out "snap", is that so the fracture would be easy for other medical professionals to identify? I wish you a speedy recovery.

Oh, and you forgot the obligatory "you should see the other guy".

[Charles King]

OOCHHH!! That looks bad. I hope you let that heal and that you make sure you get some rest.

[Charles Papert]

Condolences. I had one of those (fracture was down lower, on the talus bone--particularly nasty spot for it) and was out of the Steadicam game for 5 months. Rough time.

Heal well and fast!

Here it is, free of charge!

Take care next time

[Jonathan Cohn]

hahah thanks doctor rotaru.

Update: Surgery on Tuesday.  I'll post those sweet xrays after.  I might begin to look like a steadicam with all that metal.

[cosmin rotaru]

surgery?! That doesn't sound good...

Good luck!

[Jonathan Cohn]

they will be installing a 3A isoelastic arm in my leg with a 3 axis gimbal at the bottom.  More xrays to come tomorrow

[Alan Dague-Greene]

Cosmin is already working on those X-rays, I bet.

[cosmin rotaru]

can't find my X-ray gun!

[Jonathan Cohn]

some people were asking what kind of bike I ride, so I posted some pictures of the evil bitch

[cosmin rotaru]

cool bike and nice picture with you (?) riding it!

Tell me, what kind of recovery is expected after this surgery? Will you be able to ride your bike again? I never broke any bones (of mine ) but that x-ray shows like "total damage" to that bone

[cosmin rotaru]

Nice job they did installing the 3A. Jonathan is out, training - quite happy about the new system!

[Alan Dague-Greene]

Just don't shift more than 51 pounds of weight to that leg, or you'll void the warranty.

Tell them you're the DIY kind of guy! "can't you just give me the plans?!"
